such inexhaustable tragedy

or so to its victims it must have seemed

one moment such pristine silence

and great natural beauty

the very next

a horror film come to life

amid the terror of drowning and

subsequent screams

unleashed upon the everyday man

the savagery of a suddenly violent sea

pillaging forth to swallow up all land mass

as well as man

a disaster to the harshest human degree

with numerous boundaries trampled

homes and lives destroyed

confusion, fear, disease and misery

all rise to over take those left in the path

of the water's hell

and hard as it is always in such dire

circumstances to grasp and comprehend

still we are never alone

and everything  occurs good, bad or mediocre

for some greater reason yet known

'til at the end of the day

all any man ever really has all his own

is his personal faith

to carry him through

for everything else that came before

t'was but on loan from God

and is his alone to take back or reissue.....
